Vancouver, BC, August 4, 2016--(T-Net)--Point Grey, a global leader in the design and manufacture of innovative, high-performance digital cameras, today announced it has acquired certain assets of Nomi related to Nomi's people counting sensor business.

A number of key Nomi engineering, sales, and administrative personnel will join Point Grey to continue working with partners and ensure long-term continuity in service, support, and product development.

Point Grey has been the original device manufacturer (ODM) for Nomi's Brickstream 3D sensor since 2005, and Brickstream 2D since 2011.
